And he gets to travel....

  At a very pretentious party that I had taken a friend to. Were money job and status meant everything (which my friend was very aware of). I introduced a Donna Karen clad female aquaintance to a rather good looking male friend of mine.

Me "Hello Jacquie, How are you? This is my friend Jonathan".

Jacqui: "Hello Jonathan, nice to meet you. And what do you do"?

Jonathan: "I'm a seal culler"

Jacqui: (In disgust) "REALLY"?

Jonathan: "Well someones got to do it and the pays good"

The look on her face was just priceless...........
